Re: $60 million tournament
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Home of the soon-to-be-built "Pokerdome". Heh. Didn't monster truck racing die out because of overexposure like this? [/ QUOTE ] Did you seriously just compare poker to monster truck racing? [/ QUOTE ] No, not poker, just overhyped, over-the-top events like a $60 million SNG with something called a "Pokerdome". It just reeks of cheesiness.

[ QUOTE ] Well there's a 20 million dollar overlay. [/ QUOTE ] USD 60M = AUD 80M. No overlay, just sloppy writing in the article. Adde [/ QUOTE ] Well, if they're quoting the pool in AUD then wouldn't the $10 million entry fee be in AUD also? Enquiring minds want to know.

[/ QUOTE ] Well, I'm no expert, but coming from an aussie news site I'd guess they don't print out AUD when speaking of their own currency ("the $80 million kitty"), and I'd guess they do when speaking about foreign currenicies ("Players will pay $US10 million").

Re: $60 million tournament
Quoted from mansionpoker.net:
"The state-of-the-art dome contains a poker table, complete with an automated card tracking system, integrated chip counting capabilities, hole card-cam and robotic cameras focused on each player's face. The Pokerdome also comes equipped with special cameras and card technology that allows viewers to see the burn cards - or discarded cards - before dealers flip the active cards, plus a rabbit-hunting camera for each hand, letting fans know what would have happened if each hand went to completion." Ready for 43 weeks of rabbit hunting? ICMoney
